Oh Look! Graffiti on trains!

[SeventhFloor]

Just sell the cars at the next Art Basel, duh

Its interesting how the MTA advertisers could bomb the whole car with advertising, like a piece, and make that advertising dollars

Dead graffiti writers are turning in their graves

Mta should commission work on the holidays,using graffiti talent, maybe a fair balance of "getting up legally" will discourage these Instagram taggers.

Art has only one place ........the canvas to which the artist has sole possession............anything else is criminal.

Why would they spray the cars if they can just wrap it in vinyl which has the two fold benefit of getting advertising and protecting the train itself from graffiti.

Also to the poster above calling Reddit leftist propaganda, the site is just an aggregate of many communities. That would be same as saying City Data forums are filled with conservative propaganda.

blech.........it's a mentality. blacks and latinos - they love it.



i love art, but that "ain't" art. it's vandalism and it's a mindless criminal act (a.f.a.i.c)



Ugly ghetto graffiti. whites started that right, back in 1776? ...no doubt all 'peoples' have had a hand in graffiti. --- even Italian punks.
BUT nothing like what blacks/latinos/gang members do here in newyawk. ......they cover such a broad spectrum [all over the place and on everything, and nobody gives 2-wits about it].


ho-hum, part of city living....[yeah, living with 2-legged animals].


the graffiti they spray all over is a reflection of their diseased criminal minds. Seeing it allll these years, WHY isn't it a crime by now? LoL.


.... every nook~n~ crannie...spray painting their scribbly-scrawl on people's properties, storefronts,
sides of buildings, light poles, fire hydrants, sides of trucks.....roof tops, inside the TRAIN tunnel.


Fresh picture, Jan, 2020







.........ON the brooklyn bridge [they must of rowed a boat, or scaled the side like spiderman or swam to the middle?] ... it was on the manhattan side for years -- and not too long ago -- like 7-8 years ago i noticed it.....


.....and it just STAYED THERE for the longest time. years. it was right there, towards the bottom right. the Brooklyn Bridge! a landmark. A thing of beauty. the people [the nyc gov't -- mayor, joe politician] didn't give 2 wits about it. they let it stay there for years. I found it "weird" they let the graffiti languish there. all they had to do was row over and wash it off..........they let the SCUM take center stage and the Brooklyn Bridge was left with a ghetto pimple on it's body--an american disgrace. a reflection of the minds of "the people who run this city." i was so appalled and offended to see ugly graffiti on the Brooklyn Bridge....





i took this picture on 9/11 in 2018. i found it appallingly interesting. it was so beat-up. there was a NUB of a receiver left and the cord was cut....it ended at the bottom of the pic....


a disrespect for people's personal property/city property and ANY property, highway sign...you name it... . i've seen grafitti that: how the "eff" did they climb up there...the lengths they went to to deface this 'object.' a reflection of the neighborhood and the element [allowed] to run [so liberally] around....
